Washburn Law Journal

http://washburnlaw.edu/wlj/

 The Washburn Law Journal is a scholarly publication edited
 entirely by Washburn University law students. Under the
 leadership of the Editor-in-Chief, in consultation with a faculty
 advisory committee, the Senior Board of Editors publishes three
 issues each year. Students are invited to become members of the
 Washburn Law Journal on the basis of performance in a writing
 competition and class rank after each of their first three
 semesters of law school. During the junior year, the student is
 responsible for researching and writing a case comment. During
 the senior year, each student, except members of the Senior
 Board of Editors, writes a more extensive note on a legal topic of
 the student's choice. To complete membership on the Journal
 staff, all students must complete a case comment and a note of
 publishable quality. Members also assist the Senior Board of
 Editors in the many editorial tasks necessary to the publication
 of the Journal, including associate editing. Each student may
 elect to take one to four credit hours and each member of the
 Senior Board of Editors may elect to take an additional two credit
 hours by writing a note. In the spring, second year staff members
 are invited to apply for positions on the Senior Board of Editors.
 These positions allow the member to exert an active influence on
 the quality of the Journal and to gain even more from the law
 journal experience. Membership on the Senior Board of Editors
 provides the student with invaluable experience in legal analysis
 and writing and is recognized by the profession as one of the
 highest accomplishments available to a law student.
